Patients' Experiences with an Interdisciplinary Team Assessment of Chronic Pain: A Qualitative Interview Study.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Chronic pain is a widespread issue, and it is important to find interventions that are effective and valued by patients. At the study hospital, an interdisciplinary approach is often used, involving an assessment by a psychologist, physiotherapist, and doctor. We wanted to examine patients' experiences with this interdisciplinary approach. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with nine patients at the Pain Department at the University Hospital of North Norway. The interviews were conducted in January and February 2023. The interviews were analyzed using a phenomenological approach. Results: Overall, our results suggest that an interdisciplinary approach is perceived as beneficial by patients with chronic pain. Four themes were highlighted. The first theme was that patients felt their pain was understood in a holistic manner. The second theme was that the participants felt seen and understood. The third theme emphasized the value of having further actions recommended and initiated. The fourth theme was a feeling of being overwhelmed by an interdisciplinary approach. Conclusion: A majority of the participants found an interdisciplinary approach to be helpful. However, some patients may find it challenging to meet the entire interdisciplinary team at once.
